Q: Why doesn't Terressentials Hair Wash
come in a wide-mouthed jar that I can stick my fingers in and scoop
the mud out of? It can be hard to get out of the bottles.
A:
Unfortunately, for such a large
quantity of a water-based product to be packed in a jar that would
require that fingers be repeatedly inserted into the product over
several weeks to dispense it demands significant additions of
chemical preservatives to maintain that product's stability. As we
are a certified organic company, the use of such chemical
preservatives is not in alignment with our organic mission or our
natural philosophy and, importantly, the use of chemical
preservatives in organic products is forbidden by the federal USDA
National Organic Program regulations. Also, we are a very small
company and packaging options that are available to us in the smaller
quantities that we can afford to purchase are limited. After 20
years of business, we have found that the best bottle for the Hair
Wash is the one we currently use. However, rest assured, as we do
believe in constant improvement, we are always searching for and open
to new and improved packaging ideas.
For now, here are a few tips that we
can share with you for successful dispensing of the Hair Wash are:
1. Store your Hair Wash bottle upside
down (with cap closed, of course!).
2. When the product gets low in the
bottle, gently tap the bottle (cap down and closed) against a
tabletop a few times to move the Hair Wash from the bottom of the
bottle towards the cap.
